Posted May 2, 2011 Could it be? apparently the US is in possession of Bin Laden's body after he was killed in Pakistan. Sky news and BBC news are currently reporting this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13256676 Good stuff if so. p.s. No idea why I am still awake at this hour. INSOMNIAC.

Posted May 2, 2011 "The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," Am I the only one who thinks that sounds a bit...negative? i.e. don't do anything bad to America, or we will kill you? I hope there won't be any revenge attacks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Honestly I don't see how this solves anything. It isn't as if Bin Laden was the only person capable of organizing terrorist attacks, and I don't think that killing him will persuade al-Qaeda to stop their terrorism. I suppose I can understand why people are relieved, due to a feeling of revenge or something, but realistically it doesn't seem like such an important event. Anyway, that's just my opinion, and maybe I'm too uninformed to be making statements like this, but that's what I think at the moment. Edit: The numbers speak for themselves: 10 years, 2 wars, 919,967 deaths, and $1,188,263,000,000 to kill one person. Edited May 2, 2011 by Adthegreat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 2, 2011 Well done America, you have very likely just made a martyr in the terrorist cause. Bravo. Killing him is just going to exact retribution :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 2, 2011 He had to be killed sooner or later. Pakistan have protected him long enough. We can sit here all day and argue statistics but we all know the forces havn't been over there this long just looking for him. Good riddance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 2, 2011 Good news but, as Adthegreat says, it's not like he's the only one who can organise terrorist attacks. Where one dies, another will replace unfortunately. Maybe not now but at some point in the future, there will be. Meh, he's been dead for years, the Americans just found the body. No matter how or when he was killed, at least he's dead. Basically what I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
